You: Why Dave; why now?
Me: Well, I've a two talented kids; the younger said, 'Stop with the lectures.' Then asked, 'Dad, can I help you set up a blog?' Moments later, Me: 'OK, that's a great idea, thinkin' they might just read it someday.

naturalnumber: Photographs Show the Tasty Side of Math and Science Science, Real Estate, History I used to have a kite made in this tetrahedral geometry. Invented by Alex G. Bell, it is the most powerful kite shape known. It is also modular, as the group of 4 tetras can expand, enough to lift a large object. I flew mine on South Beach in Edgartown, years ago. The kite used only 2 of the 4 triangle planes on each tetra, the string attached to the 3 outside corners making a harness where a central string was attached. Oh yea, I also had a tetrahedral bed made from 2x4 redwood 8 foot long, assembled and designed in McClurg Court, Chicago. Then moved to Cambridge, MA, and finally given to a friend in McClean, VA, where she displayed them as a sculpture outside. They had several advantages over a rectangular bed, one being that you could tuck in both feet and still stretch out your arms. Not possible on a rectangle. Also should the ceiling of the rental flat cave in, I knew that for the materials used, I had built the strongest structure. Take that Archimedes. Also, Bucky Fuller believed the tetrahedron as the basic unit solid.
